ADVANCED TROUBLESHOOTING
To reset the router, press and hold the reset button for about 20 seconds. The light on the front of the router will flash bright red, then it will dim out in three pulses, followed by one last bright red flash. Once you see the longer red flash, release the reset button and wait for the router to boot up.
Automatic firmware upgrade is enabled by default. Firmware updates are approved and will be provided directly by Community Fibre. Manual firmware update is not supported.
To check the current firmware version on the web interface, log in to the router's web interface, and go to Router Settings > Connectivity > Basic. Then, click on the drop-down arrow next to Details.
The app is optional. The router can be accessed through its web interface to manage it. However, you can opt to use the latest version of the app after the router has been set up. For better network security, it is highly recommended to customize the router's admin password.
